After Breaking Bad
Bill appears in the documentary American Greed: James McGill, in which he comments on Jimmy's legal career and his relationship with Chuck. ("American Greed: James McGill") By November 2010, Bill has left the DA's office and gone into private practice. Francesca Liddy drives past a park bench reading "William Oakley & Associates" with his picture on it on her way to answer Saul's phone call. Francesca later tells Saul that Bill has switched sides and become a defense attorney. Saul initially misunderstands what Francesca is saying and thinks that Bill has come out as gay instead until Francesca corrects him. ("Breaking Bad") After being arrested, Saul calls Bill for help as his new "advisory counsel." However, Bill tells Saul that no matter who his lawyer is, Saul is screwed and wonders how Saul sees it ending. Saul tells Bill that he sees it ending with him on top as always. Bill represents Saul throughout his plea negotiations and hearing, but after Saul starts confessing to his crimes and ignores Bill's various objections, Bill asks to be relieved as his co-counsel. However, the judge refuses to even consider it. When Jimmy, having reclaimed his original name, sits down, Bill tells him that his role in Chuck's suicide wasn't a crime, but Jimmy tells him that "yes it was." ("Saul Gone")
